Thought Undulation
I've been staring at yellow lines and pavement for hours.
Mix tapes cause mixed emotions,
manifest feelings out of thin air,
internal drama caused by people I've never even met.
At least they are good at getting their point across.
Detachment from desire is difficult when you're unattached to begin with.
Grey skies still look gloomy behind brand new
used rose-colored grandma glasses.
I dream in walking meditation,
sitting on my ass
a vibrating road beneath me.
Swimming through subconscious mental capacity
waiting for my mothers psychological warfare to escape my brain.
I feel like a greased watermelon floating on moonlit waters,
raised to believe I am an object of desire,
an object in everyone's game but my own.
There is someone to represent each song on this mixtape.
I go through the motions dictated by large fumbling hands.
Fasting forward
looking back in rewind,
when will I create the soundtrack of freedom?

Poetry: A day in my life
by Lilly Mantra
Take a walk in my shoes.
Experience one day in my life.
See the anguish, the exhaustion,
The terror, the strife.
I wake up in
The Duty of a Soldier's Wife
I salute our flag
With my oven Mit
Changing diapers to the sound
Of freedom's wit
Serving my country
Proud
by Ariel Eton
Here inside this body
Lives a ME that no one knows
A ME that's hard to understand
A ME I haven't chose
To be bitter and misgiving
Is
The world on my shoulders, a smile on my face
The girl in the mirror is hard to embrace
I'm a mother of three, yet I tend
by Erin G
A day in my life
A sky of often-grey
A never-lifting cloud
An endless fall of rain
A bout of shining sun
Playing peek-a-boo
Between
